Basically, all I want to do is put one small file, a very short script I made, into the home directory.
That way the user only has to execute the script, which will download and install needed files and create a directory once booted up from the live cd.

What is the best way to go about getting this file into DSL.

I want to be able to get this "custom" DSL into a .ISO, so basically anyone can just boot right up, execute the script, and walk away. I just haven't had any luck making myDSL.iso. It keeps on talking about "extensions" when all I want to do is make this one file show up in the home directory once booted up from a livecd.

Thanks in advanced.

You could make the one file an extension and use mkmydsl to add it to a new ISO, or you could remaster the KNOPPIX file, putting the file into etc/skel

What exactly is an extension? And how do I make one? That link you gave seems really complicated.

And if I make the extension how do I get it to show up in the Home directory?

Thanks
